sections are HOT and can cause severe burns or se-
vere shock. Keep hands and objects out of the toaster
unit! Failure to exercise caution may result in serious
injury! Turn the unit off, unplug it and let it cool down
completely before touching or working on internal apparatus.

ed too light. Be careful not to over compress the
buns.

Operaon (connued)
Begin continuous feeding. Feed product into top of
DCFT. Heels are toasted in the front slot and crowns are
toasted in the rear slot. The sides to be toasted should face
the platen (Teflon sheet). For BigMac Clubs use the left in-
feed.
IMPORTANT
For oblong buns, insert the bun horizontally (with the widest
edge down), NOT vertically.
Toasted product will exit at the base of the DCFT. If a bun
gets jammed inside of the toaster, turn the toaster off and
remove the bun with the BUN REMOVAL TOOL ONLY!
Never use your fingers, tongs, etc.!
